Chapter 014: Act I, the show begins
A few days later.
Spring flowers are blooming, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
But fortunately, the sky was overcast early this morning.
The sun ducked behind the clouds early, until mid-day, when a cool rain began to fall in the sky.
The rain fell on the capital, on the green eaves, and on the shiny stone roads that were stepped on.
Xu Zhou took his little attendant He Bao to the yamen today to take leave, and stayed at a roadside tea stall diagonally opposite Xu Fuji on Guangshun Street early in the morning, watching Xu Fuji's every move on the opposite side.
At some point, the sky began to rain.
Xu Zhou looked up at the sky, stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, and couldn't help but smile happily.
Today, the revenge of humiliating his wife is avenged.
Are you even in a hurry to come over and join in the fun?
Xu Zhou has always thought that he is not a good person.
Even if you become an auxiliary police officer and serve the people, it is a compromise made in order to take care of your family.
Surely there will be retribution.
Xu Zhou thinks that he is such a person.
Qian Dazhong, it's dead!
The old immortal actually hit Yun Niang with his idea.
Xu Zhou won't let him have a good time.
A canopy was erected on the tea stall to shelter from the rain, and a light rain fell on the canopy.
Tick-tock, make a wonderful sound.
Xu Zhou lifted the teapot, poured himself another bowl of tea, and kept looking at the Xu Fuji wine shop diagonally opposite.
Qian Dazhong's obscene old man stood at the door of Xu Fuji.
Today, he is wearing a brand-new gray robe, his hair is meticulously combed, shiny, and it can be seen that he has also specially trimmed his face.
Today's Xu Fu Chi style, it seems that a big man came to the door, and even the shopkeeper went out to greet him in person.
Qian Dazhong is an old man in the store, with eyesight and a slippery mouth, he was named by the shopkeeper and greeted the big man at the door.
"Chunxiu, are you ready?" Xu Zhou looked at He Bao and asked.
He Bao nodded, his eyes were firm, he was ready for a long time.
That day, he went to visit the kiln with Xu Zhou's sponsorship, and came out in only a quarter of an hour.
didn't simply take off his pants and carry a gun to go into battle, and be a second man, but gave a girl named "Chunxiu" a deposit of five taels, and there were five taels after the deed was completed.
Chunxiu's stall in the kiln, like her, came out to beg for a living, but two coins a night and silver.
Now that a guest is generous, after the matter is completed, he promised to give her a total of ten taels of rewards, how could she not want to come out and work hard?
"Big brother, after the matter is big, I'm afraid it won't end well." He Bao frowned, a little worried.
Xu Zhou smiled toothlessly, didn't care at all, just pointed to the second floor of a restaurant not far away.
He Bao looked over, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said in surprise: "Guan Zhutou, Chen Prison Head?" ”
Chen Wude and a catcher surnamed "Guan" were not far away, on the second floor of a restaurant, near the window, eating wine and meat, and from their position, they could just see Xu Fuji.
"Big brother, why did Guan Zhutou come to help?" He Bao became more and more puzzled.
If you want to say that Chen Wude came, it was for the sake of Xu Zhou's dead father.
Out of care for the younger generations to help, but what is the purpose of closing the head?
As far as He Bao knows, Guan Zhutou's temper is one of the best in the county government.
He is upright and upright, and oil and salt do not enter.
There's no reason for people to help.
Xu Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Who said that Guan Zhutou is here to help." ”
"What's that for? It's not going to be a bustle. He Bao is really getting more and more confused, and he just dislikes that his brain is not enough.
Xu Zhou shrugged, as if telling something that had happened: "The head of the Yaguan in Ping'an County coincided with Xiu Mu today, and he and his friend Chen Jiaotou met in a restaurant to eat and drink in the mountains. Halfway through the wine, Guan Zhutou was suddenly attracted by the noise at the door of Xu Fuji on the street, and after looking closely, he quickly understood why the noise was. It turned out to be an old puffy who went to the kiln and didn't give money, and the girl came to the door to ask for an explanation. ”
When He Bao heard this, his pupils widened, and he suddenly realized.
He gave himself a thumbs up and exclaimed, "High, really high!" ”
Sure enough, I didn't mistake the eldest brother, and I followed the eldest brother to have meat to eat.
In order to avenge Yun Niang this time, Xu Zhou has been planning carefully for a long time.
He Bao went to invite Chunxiu to come over and make a show. It is also an indispensable part to ask Chen Wude to ask Guan to arrest the head and eat wine on the spot of the incident.
Xu Zhou just wants to make things bigger, and the bigger the trouble, the better.
Doesn't it mean that your Xu Fuji family has a big business, and others dare not provoke the backer behind Qian Dazhong.
Xu Zhou didn't believe in this evil.
This time it is to show Qian Dazhong's lustful face in front of the people.
Look at how you Xu Fuji still covers.
Those who bully my family will be killed!
Belch..... It's a bit of a middle two.
Harvest!
Xu Zhou patted his face, continued to drink tea, and waited for the show to begin.
.....
"Lord Huang, the hour is approaching noon, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, this day is not good, can we take time to see the next one in the afternoon? The villain has prepared a luncheon for the adults in the Yipin Xiangfu Building, let's talk while eating, chatting while eating, Lord Huang, what do you think of such an arrangement? ”
At the end of Guangshun Street, several figures appeared in the rain.
A bloated middle-aged man walked in the middle, surrounded by everyone.
There was a thin bearded man walking beside him, bending over and holding an umbrella for the middle-aged man, for fear that people would be drenched in the rain.
Beside the two, there were several other people, one of whom attracted the most attention.
This person is slender, with a melon seed face, long black hair tied with a cyan belt, hanging straight to the waist, and walking with the wind, a young woman of double ten.
If people from the business community in the capital stop here at this moment, they will recognize this woman.
This daughter is Xu Fuji, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Xu, and now Xu Baizhi, who is in power in Xu Fuji.
Xu Baizhi didn't talk nonsense about Lord Huang who came with the household department like her second uncle.
Xu Fuji's family has a great career and has been targeted by the imperial court.
In the past two months, Xu Fuji has received instructions from the household department of the imperial court.
The household department ordered Xu Fuji's branches in the capital to prepare all the account books and accept them for inspection by the court officials.
said that it was an inspection, but it was just a disguised review of Xu Fuji's qualifications.
If the inspection is qualified, Hsu Fu Chi can be elected as an imperial businessman.
Speaking of which, this is a great thing.
But Mrs. Xu and her eldest daughter Xu Baizhi didn't think so.
If Xu Fuji is selected as one of the imperial merchants, although the family's business in the future is like a bloody horse, a thousand miles a day, but the control of the business is not in the hands of the person surnamed Xu.
The imperial merchant is as good as the imperial merchant, but it also has its drawbacks.
Old lady Xu and Xu Baizhi didn't want their property to be occupied by the imperial court.
But there is also a second uncle in the Xu family, who is considered the younger brother of Mrs. Xu, and he has a completely opposite attitude.
He strongly supported Hsu Fu Chi's election as an imperial businessman.
Old lady Xu and Xu Baizhi knew what the hell this second uncle was doing.
It is nothing more than waiting for Xu Fuji to be selected as an imperial businessman, relying on his villain and love to tie his character, he will get a little power in Xu Fuji.
At the moment, the entire Xu Fuji, this second uncle can't get involved, and all the power is in Xu Baizhi's hands.
So, can you enter the imperial business?
Become the power struggle between the daughter of the Xu family and the second uncle of the Xu family.
Although Xu Baizhi is reluctant to enter the imperial business, the will of the imperial court is here.
She didn't dare to openly disobey the order, so she had to order all branches in the capital, sort out the account books, and wait for Lord Huang of the household department to check it.
